Springfield Police are reporting another case of police impersonation, but it’s likely unrelated to the string of similar instances a few months ago.

Authorities say a 19 year old man was stopped on Sangamon Avenue near Piper Road around 9:30 Monday night by an off-white Ford Crown-Victoria with one headlight brighter than the other, an uneven bumper and no front license plate. The suspect was a bi-racial man in his early 20’s, who asked the victim for license and registration. He said he didn’t have any identification on him and he was undercover.
